Seeing as you guys are discussing me, I suppose I should correct the flawed thinking so you can actually get something right. Your logic is completely flawed because it assumes that my reaction would have been any different if I didn't have some sort of shiny "gentoo developer" tag associated with me. I would still have told Diego exactly how I felt about unreasonably abusing an arch team member who was simply trying to do his job had I been a developer or not. So seriously, stop assuming my impending retirement had anything to do with this. I would still react loudly to folks pulling a similar stunt now that I *am* retired. -Steve
